Arlon Electronic Materials, founded in 1969, manufactures high-performance laminates and prepregs for printed circuit boards. Its materials support PCB designs that require better electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance than standard FR-4.
Arlon’s Material Portfolio
Topline Circuit uses Arlon laminates and prepregs in high-temperature, low-loss, HDI, RF, microwave, and other specialized PCB applications.
Arlon’s portfolio includes:
- Polyimide laminates and prepregs
- Low-flow and no-flow prepregs
- Multifunctional epoxy materials
- High-Tg epoxy systems
- Controlled thermal expansion materials
- Low-loss laminates and prepregs
- Hole-fill materials
- PTFE and ceramic-filled materials
These resin systems are available with substrates such as woven glass and nonwoven aramid. Material selection depends on operating temperature, frequency, thermal expansion, loss requirements, lamination process, and PCB construction.
Typical Applications
Arlon electronic materials are used in:
- Avionics electronics
- Semiconductor test equipment
- HDI and microvia PCBs
- Heat-sink bonding
- Mobile communication products
- Industrial electronics
- High-temperature circuit boards
Arlon RF and microwave materials include PTFE, ceramic-filled PTFE, and low-loss ceramic hydrocarbon thermoset laminates. Typical applications include:
- Base-station antennas
- Phased-array radar systems
- Power-amplifier boards
- Communication equipment
- RF and microwave antennas
Arlon CLTE-XT is designed for PCB applications that require low signal loss, controlled thermal expansion, phase stability, and low moisture absorption.
